God send a good doctor

Mama asked Dr P if she still stands a chance to recover when Dr P came to visit her at Assisi Home. (I think I said that before, mama has never given up not even when she was too weak to sit up.)

I remembered Dr P replied,” There is a season for all things. Set your eyes upon Jesus.”

Ecclesiastes 3:1 To every thing there is a season, and a time to every purpose under the heaven:

I thank God for Dr P. I never did expect a doctor who would go such an extra mile for his patients. He did not only play his part as a medical doctor but also a spiritual one.

He has also ministered me several times. Once he told me to have faith just simple faith when he sensed that I doubted God, mama and papa.

Hiccups

Papa caught a cold last week. When he was almost recovered he experienced this un-stopable hiccups. It was terrible. Even I was tired when I hear him hipped continuously. Papa was worried that it was more than hicupps. At one point (when nobody was at home) he called Aunt Ling. He told her that he felt terrible and was very frightened. But why didn't he call any of us (my brothers and I) but Aunt Ling? I was angry and puzzled. It makes no sense! Aunt Ling? Why?

OK, I'll tell you how it was cured. I accompanied Papa to SGH-Clinic A for a regular checkup on Tuesday, and he was still hipping. When I went into the doctor's office I can't wait the tell him Papa's problem.

Dr T was calm and somewhat indifference. He told the nurse, "get me 2 cups of cold water" I knew immediately it was for Papa. I thought,"no, water won't do it! We had tried that! He needs medication!" I quickly said,"He had this for 4 days." Implying that water would not help.

The cups of water came. He lifted one cup and said,"Look and follow". He pinched his nose and sipped the water. He turned to Papa and said, "Slowly sipped 15 times without breathing". "No breathing through your mouth."

Papa obeyed. He sipped slowly and then released his nose to grasp for air. Voila ! No more hiccups!


I always knew drinking water cures hiccups. But to cure real hiccups needs the correct technic.

Nothing happens by Chance

This afternoon, my aunties and uncles came to visit papa. As usual they would talk about mama and as usual the "ifs" would start.

"if the polyclinic doctor had done his job", "if mama had not been stubborn", "if her diagnosis was not delayed", "if she knew the fellow cancer patient earlier and got to take YunZhi pills", "if cancer strikes later"

I believe nothing happens by chance. Though we reap the consequences of our doings, but God is in control. As we are not on the same platform as God, we are not able to see, know and understand His divine plan. The sparrow will not fall unto the ground without my Father's approval, how much more are we worth.

Matthew 10:29 Are not two sparrows sold for a farthing? and one of them shall not fall on the ground without your Father.

looking out for mama

I know this sounds crazy and silly but I always "look out" for mama when I go to those places I used to go with her. Supermarkets, shopping malls, parks and hosiptals were some of them.

Somehow I hope to meet her just like you will unexpectedly bumped into a long lost friend or an old neighbour whom you have lost contact.

Claiming God's promise

Today is Mama 1st Home-Going Anniversary. I thank God for giving my family the grace for the past year.

We visited Mama grave this morning. It was Papa 1st time to the grave. He finally could bear to visit the grave. The pain is more bearable for him now.

Mama is saved in Heaven, I want Papa to also have a place there. I pray that the dear Lord will open the door for Papa. Holy Spirit please draw neigh unto Papa.

This verse is on Mama's tomb stone “… believe on the Lord Jesus Christ, and thou shall be saved, and thy house.” Acts 16 :31. I am claiming it.
